The Hot List: World Cup

Your best bet for enjoying the World Cup: plant yourself at one of these five bars. (That or endure a
20-plus-hour flight to South Africa.) They'll be bringing you all the goal-scoring (or should we say,
goaallllll-scoring) in the form of 68 TVs and endless beer. Festivities start as early as 4am, or as late
as... 7am.

LUCK O' THE IRISH

Free Whiskey Shots at Kezar Pub

TVs: 20 HDTVsLowdown: Opening at 4am for all the 4:30am games (and replaying every game at 5, 7 and
9pm), Kezar's got 70 beers, plus breakfast and pub fare starting at 6am. But most importantly, they're
doling out free shots of Irish whiskey whenever any team scores against France. Revenge never tasted
sweeter...

TVs: 13 HDTVs, including one 82-inch behemothLowdown: They've got SF's largest domestic beer list, along with Frings
(beer-battered onion rings and fries), BBQ Beef Nachos and the Republic Burger. It goes
without saying that fans of the Stars and Stripes will be here, alive and kicking. Also: eating.

TVs: 23 big-screensLowdown: At 6am, the kitchen at Mijita will be churning out futbol-inspired grub
like Chilaquiles and Fried Chicken Sandwiches (soccer players love fried chicken). And in
the spirit of competition, if you drink all 24 bottles on Public's beer list, you'll get your own World Cup
pilsner glass—aka your own private World Cup.

South Africa by Way of Italy at Panta Rei

TVs: 2 flat-screensLowdown: Four years ago, this trattoria in North Beach was basically World Cup HQ, which is
why you'll want to grab a seat at the tile bar bright and (especially) early. They'll be mixing cocktails
all morning, and dishing out their weekend brunch throughout the week. It's enough to make you wish the
World Cup were every month.
